Posh was my 'soulmate', says actor Corey Haim

Victoria Beckham can't kiss to save her life, says film has-been Corey Haim, who briefly dated the former Spice Girl before she married husband David.

Haim, 36, known in the '80s for his role in The Lost Boys, claims that Victoria gnawed on his lips and made a strange grrhh sound when they kissed.

The pair met in 1995 when Victoria was at a London recording studio with her Spice Girl bandmates. They were 'soulmates', says Haim, who claims Posh was so serious about him that she took him to her family home - where her parents warned him off visiting her bedroom at night.

'When she kisses she does this little grrhh thing. What did it feel like? Like a girl gnawing on your lip!' says Haim in a recent kiss-and-tell magazine interview.

Of their first meeting, the actor, who suffered a drug-induced stroke in 2001 and has been in and out of rehab many times, says: 'These five punk rock chicks walked in and there was Vic - boom. So I had to hang out with her, it was my job as a man.'

The pair split after a blazing row over band Take That - after a cosy evening in watching TV, Posh confessed to Haim that she 'loved' the band.
